SinceRely, Stone & DeGuiRe

nancy Stone Deguire (1947-2013) and lawrence r. Deguire jr. (1947-2006) met as undergraduate art students at Washington University; they were married in Graham Chapel in 1969 and earned their Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in 1970. The husband-and-wife duo began their artistic collaboration in 1972, working together as Stone & DeGuire to produce a single object. This partnership evolved from parallel, individual investigations of alternatives to the picture plane—a synthesized interest in spatial concerns, informally united with flexible materials. The force of their work coalesces around ties that bind rather than separate—an artistic collaborative whose shared studio practice was merely one facet of an inseparable personal union.

the Des lee Gallery is located at 1627 Washington Avenue. Metered street parking is available, or guests may pay to park in the lot located directly across from the gallery.
